Long shot, but I can not find anything online regarding this, I suppose, quite rare problem:
There is a lever in rear through axle which is removable, however it IS NOT suitable for a front FOX axle, therefore additionaly another multitool (or 6mm tool) must be carried. Have anybody riding this bike found any solution to avoid bringing multiple tools?

this one: https://r2-bike.com/SCOTT-Thru-Axle-Spa ... -178x13-mm

btw it is incredibly annoying to find such things on most expensive MTB you can now buy :shock: :shock: :shock:

This is the weightweenie website and you want to use a an overweight axle?

The rear is provided by Scott for their frame and the front by Fox for their fork, replace both with a lightweight option using a hex tool.

There key is very long (6mm+5mm+hex) and it does not go inside the fox axle until the 6mm which is at the handle :(

best solution. Levers are just ugly (and heavy)
